FWP Seeking Applicants for Region 3 Citizens' Advisory Committee

Headlines
- Region 3

Montana Fish, Wildlife & Parks is seeking applicants to fill five volunteer positions on the Region 3 Citizens’ Advisory Committee (CAC). The CAC was established almost three years ago.

The CAC is a general advisory committee that works with FWP on a wide variety of regional issues and programs. Citizen advisors serve in a voluntary capacity with meals and travel expenses provided. Half-day meetings are held quarterly in communities across southwest Montana. The meetings are open to the public.

Applicants are being sought to fill vacancies created by the expiration of terms of members from Ennis, Bozeman, Butte, Boulder, and Helena. Residents of those areas are encouraged to apply for the vacancies, although applicants will be considered from across southwest Montana.

FWP is interested in selecting members from a pool of candidates who represent a variety of interests. The department welcomes applications from hunters, anglers, landowners, trappers, outdoor recreationists, conservationists, and the general public.

“We encourage anyone who is interested in the natural resources of southwest Montana to apply,” said Pat Flowers, Region 3 Supervisor. “The CAC is a diverse group of citizen advisors who help us with many programs and issues and bolster our efforts to involve citizens in managing the region’s abundant fish, wildlife, and recreational resources.”

Applicants will be asked to provide an overview of their interests and involvement in natural resource issues. Finalists may be asked to interview by phone or in person.

To obtain an application, please call the FWP Region 3 Office in Bozeman at 994-4042 or email mmorelli@mt.gov. Interested persons will receive an application by mail or email. Completed applications must be returned to FWP by December 5, 2008. FWP Region 3 managers will select the candidates. All applicants will be notified by mail about whether or not they’ve been accepted.
